I found myself bored in a place where I had only web access, but no game access, so I started working on calculating the absolutely maximum possible for each tradeskill. The items are based on the tradeskill items thread. All the rest is my personal experience.
Items I included include all symbs, imps, QL300 towers, ql250 Universal Advantages and any item I thought was remotely possible to equip. I didn't include items I thought were not even remotely possible, e.g. Mystery of Pisces.
Please only comment in an informational way - things I did wrong or forgot. As this is a guide/sticky thread I will remove all other posts.
The information below is for a 220 nanomage engi, but I also added maximum across breeds.
